'somewhere to store waste' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'brother initially runs' is the wordplay.
'brother initially' becomes 'b' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'runs' becomes 'ladders' ('ladder' can be a synonym of 'run').
'b'+'ladders'='BLADDERS'

'for' acts as a link.
